Georgian Prime Minister: Accession to the EU and NATO remain key challenges

30
The Prime Minister of Georgia, Georgi Kvirikashvili, summing up the year, said that the country's membership in the European Union and NATO, as well as cooperation with the United States remain foreign policy priorities of the country's leadership.

We have repeatedly stated that the team’s central priority is European and Euro-Atlantic integration. From this vector comes the leading line of the reforms that are being implemented in our country. The main achievement of 2017 of the year in this direction was the visa-free regime with the EU countries, this is the success of the whole team
- said the prime minister at a government meeting on Wednesday.



Georgian Prime Minister: Accession to the EU and NATO remain key challenges


According to him, “the final goal of Georgia is full membership in the European Union,” and therefore the Georgian authorities are starting to implement the issues contained in the new agenda, which is called the “road map to the European Union.”

This agenda is much broader than the association agreement, and I’m sure that we will all successfully implement this program. At the same time, integration into NATO and cooperation with the United States remain top priorities. Of course, relations in this direction will be deepened, and from this point of view we also have success.
- added the head of government.

Representatives of the new government of Georgia, who came to power following the October 2012 elections, announced foreign policy priorities: Georgia’s membership in the EU, NATO, deepening strategic partnership with the United States and neighboring countries, and normalizing relations with Russia, reports RIA News

      People do not know how to live without supervision. It is necessary that they are constantly told what to do. Then the responsibility can be shifted to the overseer.

        it’s the fate of small nations — one must cling to someone stronger.
        It has always been like this in history
        Napoleon gained strength - everyone is fighting for him. I got it in tinsel - almost all the little things became allies of Russia, England.
        Hitler occupied Europe - so about 20% of the troops eastward, against the USSR, were Romanians, Hungarians, Italians and all other gambusia in abundance. And then all of them had to urgently change shoes, almost in the air, while they flew after receiving a pinch in the ass, along with overlord Adik.
        So there is no hope for them (this trifle). And there is nothing to regret.

      waiting for Georgia.
      NATO has long been doing everything for this. Instructors, arms supplies, Navy base in Poti, etc. The “Ossetian crisis” of 2008 did not fall from the sky. Just hoping for normalization of relations with Russia after falling under NATO power control is illusory dreams. As for joining the EU, the squeezed gingerbread Frau Merkel is clearly not enough for everyone.

      But in 2008 they could bring the company to its logical conclusion and put a pro-Russian government in Georgia, and now Georgia could be a union state.

    In, there are one more comrades with whom we are establishing relations and opening our market for their no-need agricultural products, and they want to live in nature and the EU (like Moldova).

      The LIMITROPH countries live like that. In common people, these are ticks, which so far are possible. If the source dries, the “profit” falls off and sticks to another source.

    The simple question is, does a simple Georgian need NATO and the EU? The leadership of the country needs it, since they feed on it, while they wanted to spit on the opinion of the common people of their country.

    The calculation is that Russia will not start figuring nuclear weapons practically along its borders. On the other hand, if he presses, you don’t have to choose much. And the hand won't flinch

    They already joined NATO, before signing the St. George Treaty with Russia (58 thousand people remained there - the rest of NATO was cut out (Turkey)). For some reason, Russia saved the remaining ones for some reason by fighting the Turks.

    Germany will issue loans and milk. The same tactics as the United States. But then "in a single family of civilized peoples." Then, as the food ends, they will again ask for Russia as prodigal children. Like Lithuania, like Moldova. Give, they say, eat Che thread in the form of payments for the transit of which thread.

    Even cattle remember good, but not our former republics and CMEA countries. They have complete amnesia and only "bloody Stalin" in the eyes. Although it was Georgian taxi drivers who used to drive with a portrait of Stalin.

    In addition, how to trade and deceive a client, and even with his bow (sorry for decent Georgians) to openly deceive with a sip !!!! I compared your trade in the USSR and at the same time, your merchants, (rudely of course said, but !!! how, you, threw change !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!! - I will never forget. Although I was still then, I was 14 years old. And actually, who am I talking to ?!

    Well, recognize the independence of Abkhazia and South Ossetia and the flag in your hands! And if something vigorous on you and the NATA base then falls, then the Caucasian ridge will cover us (most importantly, Ossetians should be evacuated in time,).

    More than a strange statement, although it seems normal to the person who sold the country to the West?
    It has long been clear to everyone that NATO and the EU can only exist after reunification with Abkhazia and South Ossetia, but the text does not even hint at the possibility of simply negotiating, saying that Georgia wants to help restore the destroyed, establish bridges of interaction on many issues, talk not going
    Then what are NATO and the EU?
    Declaration - for the sake of declaration!

    The West has long taken a carrot, and Ukraine and Georgia are still running in the direction where it once was. And with such confidence that the leadership of both the EU and NATO, which recently stated bluntly that they will not see membership, begin to think that they do not know something.

    Until Georgia abandons its hopes for Abkhazia and South Ossetia and officially recognizes their independence for them, NATO and the EU cannot be seen as their own hemorrhoids.
